We've handpicked a selection of some of London's most luxurious Easter eggs you can pick up or get delivered to your door in time for Easter Sunday.
Cakes and Bubbles
Albert Adria's cafe and shop at Hotel Café Royal can always be relied on to create gorgeous-looking eggs. Their main Easter egg is made with milk chocolate, using Valrhona Satilia 38% cocoa, then filled with a hazelnut praline before being finished off with white chocolate flowers. There's also a trio of smaller eggs (£25) each filled with either pistachio, pecan or hazelnut praline.
How much? £38
How to order: Order online, or pick one up at the cafe.
The Torres crisp egg at Selfridges
Torres crisps keep getting more and more popular, so this team-up with Selfridge's looks like a must-have to us. It's made in conjunction with Cornish chocolate maker Chocolarder, which uses pressed cocoa butter from cocoa beans originating from Three Mountains Cocoa in Ghana. And mixed up with all of that are original Torres crisps made with Mediterranean Sea salt. Sounds great to us, frankly. This will sell out - so buy it early.
How much? £12.99
How to order: Order online, or pick one up in store (if you're lucky)
Pavyllon
Pavyllon, Yannick Alleno's Michelin-starred restaurant in London, is back again with its luxury Easter egg, first launched last year. A dark chocolate egg, inside you'll find almond and hazelnut praline layered with sobacha (roasted buckwheat tea).
How much? £40.
How to order: Available from 30 March - 5th April, call the restaurant on 020 7319 5200 to order one.
Claridge's
This is one of the eggs that we regularly get to try and it remains a highlight of the season. It's beautiful to look at, wrapped in Art Deco monochrome foil that references the hotel's iconic lobby, and with the hotel's crest on the egg itself too. Each egg apparently takes three days to make, with just the milk chocolate option this year. Inside each, you'll find a selection of miniature praline eggs and you can also buy these separately in a box of 12 designed to look like a cardboard egg box.
How much? The egg is £70 and the miniature eggs £18, available online or from the Claridge’s Shop on Brook Street
Maison Francois
Once again, Maison Francois has brought back its Cochon de Pâques egg, which sees a pig bursting from the egg (in a slightly different design to last year's egg). They use 62% dark Satilia and 33% Tanariva milk chocolate (along with lots of cocoa butter) and the egg also comes with ten hazelnut praline truffles.
How much? £35

Birley Bakery
Birl;ey Bakery really do go all-out for Easter and if money is no object, then the extra-large egg at £290 is worth a look. Along slightly more normal lines, we love the look of the egg box, with six eggs inside. There are three milk chocolate and three dark chocolate, each filled with salted caramel and toasted Piedmont hazelnuts.
How much? £35
